Physical Science 3
  • Class Description
  • Syllabus
  • Optional Materials

This is part 3 of 3 in the full year (31 weeks) Physical Science series.

It is not required, but it is highly recommended that you take these classes in order.

Other classes in the series include:
Physical Science: Physics
Physical Science: Chemistry

CLASS DESCRIPTION
This is the 7 week Earth Science & Astronomy unit of our full year 31 week Physical Science class. This course gives a solid overview of these subjects, while introducing lower level math to get students comfortable with science math before they take an upper level courses. With this basic knowledge, students will then be able to enter upper level science courses in these subjects with a serious advantage of already having the basics down, therefore being able to spend more time expanding their knowledge at a higher academic level. This will not be a “fluff” class, or an “overview”- it is an academically rigorous science class.

CLASS FORMAT
No live classes- view lessons on YOUR schedule. In general, expect 1.5-2.5 hours to work through the lesson plan each week, and an additional 2-5 hours working on assignments (it really depends what assignment your child chooses to do and how they manage their time). For classes with two levels, the material is the same for both- the depth of the assignments differs. Younger students should usually be placed in Level 1. Older students, or younger students who want more of a challenge, should be placed in Level 2. Each lesson consists of a fully narrated PowerPoint presentation with images and videos to enhance the topics. Students will have access to our learning management system, Canvas, for viewing their lesson, printing worksheets, taking quizzes, viewing/submitting assignments, participating in discussions, and viewing grades/feedback. Read more details about class format. 

Week 1: Earth: What Lies Beneath

Week 2: Rocking Out with Rocks!

Week 3: Shaping Earth’s Surface

Week 4:  Weather, Climate, and YOU

Week 5: Our Piece of the Universe: The Earth, Moon, and Sun

Week 6: The Solar System

Week 7: Beyond the Solar System

All labs are OPTIONAL and not required to complete the work.
These materials will allow students to follow along with the in-lesson labs.
Students who do not have materials can simply follow along with me in the video.

Week 1 Lab Materials
A Slinky toy!

Week 2 Lab Materials
A mineral kit, piece of copper (a US penny before 1982 will work), a piece of glass (a microscope slide will work).

Week 5 Lab Materials
1 Ball (the bigger the better- a basketball is better than a golf ball)
1 piece of string that is long enough to go all the way around the middle of the ball
Calculator
